First cars?

[Tommygunn]

Well I'm only 14 but this is my car that I get to start up every month so it doesn't get pooped out.

1982 Benz d-class in crap condition.


What was your first car? (pics plz)

^lucky!

^lucky!

Nearly killed the thing. After 188,000 miles the body was about to fall off the frame, but that small block was still going strong.

Sold it for $72.

Hey Tommygunn, you can do a lot of bodywork on the cheap!!!

I have a Blazer that was so rusted out, you could see the driver

Ok, maybe an exaggeration, but it was the worst I've ever seen. I made my own body panels and did the bondo & paint myself....all for $120

It's a Benz...not a bad start !!

1986 Toyota 4 runner for 400. The truck looked like a prop from an ax murder movie scene.

1980 Ford Mustang (straight 6, 200ci)

Like this one ... Red, Faux hood scoope ... add centerlines and rear louvers ... you got it!
(Oh yea, plus a Budweiser Tap for a stick shift )

hmm... I'm 15 and still don't have a car... I might be given a '96 Toyota Camry (over 280K miles though! ) or a slightly older Toyota Celica in questionable condition (from different family members)...

More than likely I'll end up snagging a clunker offa craigslist.

sorry, no pics here, as im 25 and have since moved on, but my first car was a mazda 929s. the "s" denoted a "sport" edition. there were two buttons in there: eco and sport. i could not discern the difference, but i neutral dropped it a couple times too much, so when i passed it down to my brother, the transmission died withing a couple months (hehe...).

the best part of that car was that the back windows rolled all the way down, and it had a sun roof. load that car with four people and a bunch of water balloons and it was good but mean fun. man, that was awesome.

since im a spoiled ford freak, i have been driving black on black manual mustang gts since i turned 18. i dont know why i had to add that, but i did it anyway. dont buy a mustang. there are better cars for the money. i have lost faith. i guess thats why i added that.

I forgot, it's about "first cars"
Ok, I'm embarrassed to admit it but my first car was a 1968 Opel Kadett.

Most sewing machines have more power...the body was held together with rust and bailing wire, the clutch chattered...etc, etc.

Yikes !!!

I think it used to look like this:

that blazer was nice. Mine needs 5 new panels and a new paint job. But it has a lot of miles, the dash is cracked, leather ripped and the trunk is stained of the smell of diesel that won't come out! LOL It will be worth something someday.

yes...

And it's missing the right rear view mirror! LOL

 

[Tama]

Haha!

Oh yeah...it was sad

But, my next car was a 1969 Chevelle SS 396...all original, 46,000 miles, slapstick automatic, 750 double pump Holley.
I wish I still had that car. It woul;d be worth a lot today.
Sold it for $600

the truck i got for high school was a 1993 chevy 4.3 liter that thing hauled , loved it had some fun with the gf in it lol , it was a sweet truck. I rear ended someone and fixed the body myself and sold it for 500$ loss after owing it for 1 year.


man it was clean and had 56,000 miles when i got it , i sold it 13 months later with 71,000 miles and some crappy repair jobs . I saw it the other day when i was walking(no car anymore) that was a sad day.........i miss it very much.

 

[Tommygunn]

Oh... an SS that is sad!


And LC thats nasty... JK

1984 Chevy Impala with 47,000 miles on it. I was the 2nd owner. It had sat for long enough in the garage that I ended up needing to replace the belts (engine belts), some of the electrical was funky too.

I sold that car for $600.

I also had a Chevy G20 Cargo van-i think it was either an 85 or 86. I bought it from a management company (apartments). It was on it's way out when I got it. I drove it through high school as a gear hauler. Sold it once I got into school in Chicago for right about what I paid for it.

Now? No car what so ever. Thank you public transit. Eventually, I'd like to get a small SUV or a small wagon type of thing.

1972 Dodge Dart Swinger.

Looked like this one. Same color, just a bit more faded and a whole lot more body rot.

Swinger! Yeah, baby,........YEAH!
